So my ear canals are a) differently sized between left and right and b) fairly small, so most standard tips just end up hurting, with a few exceptions (the KZ AS16 star shaped tips are actually good, the OneMore Triple Driver silicone tips are good as well, as were the smallest tips that came with the V-Moda Remix Remote). So I resort to use Comply foam tips, which are comfortable and don't hurt me, but they have the disadvantages that if you listen to music in a setting where people will intermittently want to talk to you, taking them out and resetting them a lot chafes the ears and also wears the foam out faster. I go through a single set of comply tips in about a month before they simply break.
So, I guess my question is, what alternatives are there? I have seen other aftermarket tip manufacturers mentioned here and there. If I could more tips like the star shaped ones on the KZ AS-16 that'd be great - also a lot cheaper in the long run than replacing the damn foam tips all the time... Not a HUGE expense, mind you, but it's a bit annoying...
